I've been deleting Euel's doubles when I spot them to reduce the size of the digests and make
things easier for the webpage readers, like I just did with post 28763. However, the two
previous posts by Euel really were singles.

Why am I reminded of the people who watched the (brief) fight between
Claudia Christian and Shari Belafonte in the Babylon 5 tv-movie
"Thirdspace" over and over and over and over and...?

Personally, I tend to think that something in the vein of the 20 page,
intermittently seen battle is most likly, as our esteemed author,
Phil, is a past master at throwing out a bunch of random things in
such a way that they create a much more powerful impression than if he
simply drew the scene for us (q.v the tea cosy bit and the ninja fight
scenes in the Gallimaufry Buck Godot comics).

I've thought about this inevitable fight (at some point in the future)
and always thought Bang had one big advantage. Zeetha can't really
kill her, at least not until Bang tells her where Skifander is.
Already made that "kill first and ask questions later" mistake once
and so far it's cost her several years already. This is why I think
Zeetha chose to train Agatha (at least initially) because Agatha's
Uncle is the first clue she's had for a way back home.

As far as to who wins what I'd really like to see is the three-way
between Bang, Zeetha, and Von Pinn. THAT would last the 20 pages with
small panels.
